What's Up Wednesday

by Whitney Pegram - Wednesday, May 25, 2016

The last Wednesday of every month I link up with Mel, Sheaffer & Shay for a little What's Up Wednesday. We answer these questions in our posts . . .

Here we go...

1. What we're eating this week . . .

Pinterest does it again!

I tried this new recipe this week & it was delicious.

Chicken Parmesan Cassarole

I put ours on top of fettuccine noodles.

2. What I'm reminiscing about . . .

This.

Cooper's preschool graduation last year.

Oh my goodness, our boy graduates Kindergarten in just 2 weeks!

3. What I'm loving . . .

I've had these chalkboards for a while & may have shared them with you before, but my sister-in-love redid them for me. I love them so much!

4. What we've been up to . . .

Family walks, bike riding, basketball, pushing strollers . . . all that fun stuff!

We try to walk in the evenings after dinner. It is one of my most favorite parts of the day!

5. What I'm dreading . . .

Today.

I'm not so much dreading it, but I'm just super nervous. I have my follow-up appointment to get results from our miscarriage & we also will find out the sex of our sweet baby.

Please say a little prayer for strength as God continues to heal our hearts & as we go through today's appointment.

He is good & we will continue to keep our eyes to Him.

6. What I'm working on . . .

Well, we haven't started yet but soon we will be painting our kitchen.

I can't wait!

7. What I'm excited about . . .

Y'all!

We just booked our first ever Disney Cruise!!

#eeeeeeeeeek

Our kiddos have no idea because it will be their Christmas present from us so if anyone tells them & they ask me, I'll act as if I have no clue what they're talking about ;).

8. What I'm watching/reading . . .

I loved Jojo on Ben's season of the Bachelor so I can't wait to watch her on this season of the Bachelorette!

I shared my new devotional on last weeks Friday Favorites.

I've been reading it every morning & it is so good!

9. What I'm listening to . . .

If I'm not listening to Casting Crowns/Hillsong/Francesca Battistelli then you can find Millie Jo & I jamming out to this.

Who doesn't love a good dance party in the kitchen to all our favorite Disney songs?!?

10. What I'm wearing . . .

I bought this ~~cover up~~ shirt a couple weeks ago from Old Navy ... only to go find it online last week & realize that it is actually a bathing suit cover up. HA!

Guess what?!? I still wore it as if it was a top. I just put a pair of navy shorts & a tank top underneath it . . . no one ever knew :).

I blogged about my personal style last week.

You can see that post here.

11. What I'm doing this weekend . . .

We're going to watch a baseball game in our little town.

Coop has been asking to go to a game for weeks!

12. What I'm looking forward to next month . . .

My girl's first dance recital!

Can't wait to watch my tiny dancer on stage.

13. What else is new?

I think I've covered it all!

Bonus question ::

14. What am I looking forward to this summer?

Spending time with my kiddos & letting them be little!

These days fly by so we're going to enjoy every minute of it.

I have a Summer Bucket List blog post in the works so be on the lookout for that very soon :).

Happy Wednesday y'all!

Show & Tell Tuesday :: Favorite Vacation

by Whitney Pegram - Tuesday, May 24, 2016

It's Show & Tell Tuesday!

Today I'm linking up with Andrea to share all about my favorite vacation.

I actually have two that I will be sharing ... one before kiddos & the other is a family vacation we just took last summer.

First up, our honeymoon.

Dan & I got married April 2009 & for our honeymoon we went to Cabo San Lucas. It was nothing short of amazing!

We stayed at the Riu Palace & only left the resort twice the entire week we were there.

Once for our dinner cruise ...

& the other to swim with dolphins.

Just newlyweds enjoying our honeymoon!

I will never forget this trip.

Laying out at the pool all day, no cares in the world.

Just enjoying each other on our first trip as husband & wife.

Oh, Cabo.

#takemeback

Next up, our family beach trip last August.

Some of you may think, oh the beach ... Myrtle Beach at that, what's so great about it?!? Well, for me it wasn't about the destination on this specific vacation. It was the fact that it was our first little vacation as a family of 4 & it was wonderful. Don't get me wrong, we go every year with family & it's always great too but this trip was different. Dan & I put our phones away, played at the pool, played at the ocean, ate, took naps, went swimming some more. We didn't keep a schedule or make plans. We just went with the flow but most importantly we focused on each other & our sweet kiddos. It was so much fun! We go back next month & can't wait!

Loved this little vacation.

You can see more of our family vacation in these posts . .

Weekend Wrap Up.

by Whitney Pegram - Monday, May 23, 2016

Happy Monday!

I hope y'all had a great weekend because we sure did!

Here's what we were up to . . .

Friday Dan had to cover second shift. The good part about that is he didn't have to go into work until 2:00 that afternoon . . the bad part, he didn't get home until after midnight that night.

Since he didn't go in until later, we surprised this cute boy & had lunch with him.

Friday night we met Grammy & Pop for Mexican.

#heckyea

After dinner we ran out to the mall.

This girl cracks me up! Every manikin she passes she stops & either hugs them or holds their hand.

{Insert us laughing so hard here}

Told ya.

Once we got home from dinner we watched a movie, snuggled & fell asleep. They tried waiting up for Dan but it didn't happen.

Love these two so much.

Saturday we had a family day date.

I must say, it was our sweetest one yet.

{Much more on it later this week!}

We started doing a Mommy/Cooper, Daddy/Millie Jo date once a month last year but with so much going on lately we've been super slack but those little dates are getting ready to start back up again!

Sunday we headed up to the mountains for a family picnic with my in-loves.

Oh my heart. So much fun!

{Much more on that to come this week too.}

That was our weekend!

We've had so much family time here lately. I'm not just talking about our little family but both sides of our immediate families & it has been so good for us. I love how God works. His hand is in it all. He knows just what we need & exactly when we need it.

Friday Favorites.

by Whitney Pegram - Friday, May 20, 2016

Happy Friday!

Today I'm linking up with Erika, Narci & Andrea for today's Friday Favorites.

Millie Jo loves jewelry {like her mama} & these bubblegum necklaces never disappoint!

These are her three newest ones that I got from an online boutique called Pout in Pink.

If you have a little girl & haven't checked it out you need to!

The pink/gold & pink/purple are currently out of stock but you can find the mint/black here & there are lots more to choose from too.

We actually have this one on the way!

Chapstick & lipstick in one!?!

Yes, please!

I love this stuff.

{My color is Rhubarb}

When my brother & sister-in-love got married last month all the girls wore these wedge Jack Rogers.

They look great with dressy dresses, sundresses, jeans & even shorts.

I mean, LOVE!

A few days after my miscarriage I started researching & looking online for a daily devotional I could do.

You can find mine here.

While I was looking I came across this book & bought it for my kiddos. Being so young {6 & 3} they have tons of questions as you can imagine. This book has helped them a lot.

If you've ever experienced the loss of a child whether it be miscarriage or even early infant loss and/or have other children you have to explain everything to, both of these are really good!

And finally . . .

I found this little open ~~jacket~~ top at Old Navy last week. It is super soft! You can wear any shirt underneath it but this particular day I just put a black tank top under it.

Go get one & thank me later :).

Before I go I want to share a new recipe I tried this week. If you like spaghetti or lasagna then you'll love this!

It quickly became one of my family's favorites!
